Lésion osseuse résultant d'une obstruction dans le système circulatoire, entraînant une nécrose de la moelle osseuse. Elle se traduit par une condensation osseuse de forme arrondie ou ovalaire bien circonscrite, siégeant classiquement sur la métaphyse ou la diaphyse. Habituellement asymptomatique, sa découverte est souvent fortuite. [D'après TRIAR, 1974, volume 3, p. 57 et EMAPP, 14029, A40, s.d., p. 1.] 2, record 2, French, - infarctus%20osseux
